18. The wicked shall be a ransom for the righteous,And the unfaithful for the upright.
19. Better to dwell in the wilderness,Than with a contentious and angry woman.
20. There is desirable treasure,And oil in the dwelling of the wise,But a foolish man squanders it.
21. He who follows righteousness and mercyFinds life, righteousness, and honor.
22. A wise man scales the city of the mighty,And brings down the trusted stronghold.
